🥾Forest Park🌲All Trails Challenge - 2025🐇

📜 Oh my Gatos! I can see my house from here!
Such things may be heard of this hike. If you have acrophobia, you may want to hold someone’s hand and just look ahead for the beginning and ends of this hike. At any rate, this sui generis nine-ish miler will definitely leave a lasting impression. Be it the distinctive St. John’s Bridge, or the memorably challenging inclines found on Ridge Trail that have a knack for taking your breathe away. Welcome to the one and only Crazy #08! 🤪

This is hike #08 in a series of 13 hikes that cover the entire 80+ miles of trails in Forest Park. Because not all of the trails can be done as independent loops (and we will be doubling over our path at times) it will require hiking more than 120 miles to complete the entire challenge. If you miss a hike, no worries, we have this series twice a year and makeup hikes can be arranged.

💪🏽 This is NOT a beginner friendly hike, as we will be keeping a decent pace of an average of 2.7mph (or greater!) throughout, could be slightly faster/slower depending on groups’ abilities. I try to go as fast as the slowest person will allow me. These are not good hikes to learn what your pace is.
This can be difficult for some that have sedentary lifestyles, so please don’t be discouraged if at first you don’t succeed, just try try try again.

🚗🚙 Since this is in town, I will not be carpooling myself, but if you wish to do so please organize that on your own in the Event Comments section.
For those who want to carpool, just know that you should be prepared to drive or take public transit.

🅿️ There are no fees at this location, though space is limited. The address given is for location purposes only.
We will be parking underneath the Saint John’s Bridge in a parking lot that is adjacent to N Edison St.
